NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVE

The Next Generation Initiative is a national program designed to support and connect emerging leaders in local election administration.

Local election administrators play a critical role in administering elections and maintaining public confidence in democratic processes. As the profession evolves, it is increasingly important to support the next generation of professionals entering the field.

The initiative brings together a small national cohort of early-career election administrators to participate in professional development, peer learning, and cross-state collaboration focused on the challenges and opportunities facing election administration today. Participants engage in structured conversations and practical discussions designed to strengthen their day-to-day work while building a foundation for long-term career growth.
